My horoscope (Taken from the Independent on Sunday, Poppy Folly)

"Handcuffs, roughly woven rope and a dressage whip: these are the tools of your trade this week. All you need now are some customers. If they resist and protest, pay no attention, except to increase you charges. You must dominate. You must be supreme. Everything must submit to your will, or you'll wither, dry up, crumble and blow away. These are high stakes you're playing for."



Smut. S and M smut, which is what my horoscope seems to be always telling me to write. Smut, regardless of whether the characters want it or not. I don't know how a dressage whip differs to a normal whip, but I can tell what my next google will be. And huh, maybe the dressage whip thing is for another Scorpio, one with a tendency to write, oh I don't know, 'taur porn.

A dressage whip differs from, say, a riding crop in that it is longer (up to 47", while crops are usually no longer than 30") and thinner, and ends in a thin braided lash rather than a leather loop. Crops make a loud smacking sound but don't really hurt; dressage whips can *sting*.

Cool. They sound, uh, pretty.

Y'know, I'm sure my horoscopes used to be a lot more subtle than this, or at least more obscure.

D'you have a link to these odd, weirdly specific horoscopes? I'd be interested in reading mine...

They're taken from the Independent on Sunday newspaper, so if you look around the website for that paper, http://www.independent.co.uk/ you'll probably find them.

Or failing that, just tell me your star sign and I'll stick it here as a reply.

Yeah, I looked around the Independent web site yesterday and didn't find the horoscopes (and was reminded again that you now have to pay to read Robert Fisk's stuff... sigh). I'm a Taurus, if you'll post mine ;-)

Tauras- "You've been having difficulty making yourself understood. Take more advice. Feel less threatened. Be more generous. Be more curious, Share more. Stop hogging! It may not make you feel better, but it will make at least one other person happy. For a moment at least. What is life anyway, but sparkling colours in the stream?"

Huh... that's pretty cool, actually. Thanks for posting that!
